I don't know if anyone has access to it, but Bitch Magazine this month ran a story on an artist named CarianaCarianne. They refer to themselves in the plural, they've even taken oaths to be legally recognised as 2 separate people, have received MFA degrees in their own names. Their work appears to be centered around identity concepts, but in the article, they mentioned that they always viewed themselves as 2 separate people, and were confused when they learned that other people were single.
Part of me is slightly skeptical b/c concept art is highly involved in identity concepts, and plurality/identity multiplicity are actually discussed topics in a few of my art theory courses. But, the article on its own was a good read, and mentioned the idea of co-consciousness and brought up the fact that CarianaCarianne was not disordered.
I'd love to post the text, but I don't have a scanner, and can't seem to find a net version of the article. Maybe it's there if you pay for a subscription, but I'm too broke to do it. :( But:

(The article is named: Double Vision—Can two artists share one body?)

For anyone who's interested. The magazine itself was a semi-decent read for you feminists out there. ;)
